Importing from Visual Foxpro

I have some Visual Foxpro tables that I want to convert to tables in a MySQL
database. VFP contains no MySQL export facility. Can anyone suggest a tool
to handle the conversion? An indirect conversion via an intermediate format
supported by both would be OK.

Many thanks.

Hi -
its so easy to set up an odbc connection from vfp to mySql
and then do sql pass through to manage the record inserts .

I do provide contract support for this kind of thing - if you really get
stuck about it.

Works very well from VFP versions 5 to 8 - what version of VFP are you
using?

mondo regards [Bill]
